My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

Wen Qiqi smiled faintly: "If we talk about the people who like sweets the most in this mansion, it's Sheng Shi and the third wife. By the way, you haven't been to the third wife for a long time, right? Today I saw her taking Xingnan and Xingbei to play in the backyard. Xingnan and Xingbei have grown a lot taller these days..."

Lu Zhanyao's heart tightened. Xingnan and Xingbei are twin brothers, and they are only three years old.

Three-year-old children are lively and cute, and are always more likable...

But if Wen Qiqi has feelings for those two children, when will the Lu family be able to benefit from the glory of the Wen family?

Could it be that she was planning to raise a different child because Xingcheng was sick?

"The Third House is not very generous. Every time I go there, she tells me something irrelevant. She has always been at odds with you. In addition, your two families' maternal families... That's all. Now you are all members of the Lu Mansion, so I won't mention the past."

The third wife's name is Yang Wanjuan, and her father is the brother-in-law of the Governor-General of the Army, Ren Siguang.

Although Yang's father was only a fourth-rank official in the court, Yang Wanjuan's biological mother was the daughter of a general.

So at that time, Lu Zhanyao took Yang Wanjuan, the illegitimate daughter of the Yang family, into the mansion. Firstly, Yang's father took the initiative to mention this matter to Lu Zhanyao after drinking once. Secondly, Lu Zhanyao also hoped that Yang Wanjuan's entry into the mansion would create a sense of urgency for Wen Qiqi, who was also the daughter of a general!

What is the status of Kewen Mansion?

Compared with the Wen family, the Yang family is not even worthy of carrying shoes!

After Yang Wanjuan entered the mansion, although she competed with Wen Qiqi openly and secretly, she gave birth to three children for Lu Zhanyao, and the first one was twins!

The third child is a girl, she is one year old now and is still in my arms!

But Wen Qiqi had no intention of competing with her at all. In her previous life, she even took out a pair of gold and jade bracelets and gave them to Yang Wanjuan's little daughter!

As for Xingnan and Xingbei, she also took good care of them and fulfilled her duties as a legitimate mother!

Ha ha……

Think about the previous life, after the Wen family was framed, Yang Wanjuan took Xingnan and Xingbei to smash Wen Qiqi's residence to pieces!

Xingnan and Xingbei were already six years old at that time!

The two boys followed their mother and actually spat at their stepmother, whom they had tried so hard to please in the past!

Wen Qiqi couldn't figure out what the feud between herself and the third wife was.

Today, Lu Zhanyao said that the third room and she had always been at odds, which made Qiqi a little curious!

"The third wife and I entered the mansion at the same time. In my opinion, we are companions. I never felt that she and I were not on good terms... It seems that I was careless. My Lord, please tell me so that I can understand the situation and get along well with the sisters in the future."

Wen Qiqi was unusually gentle, and her beautiful eyes looked at Lu Zhanyao with a smile, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

I have to say, she is extremely beautiful.

That kind of gentleness reveals a strong temperament, which is the unique pride of the daughter of a general.

Coupled with her stunning face, skin as white as snow, and long, thick black hair like seaweed, the man sitting in front of her couldn't take his eyes off her.

But the next second, Lu Zhanyao looked elsewhere...

If she was not the daughter of the Wen family, but had the same background as Aunt Mei, I would definitely have feelings for her.

Even if his mother's family is not well-off like the third and fourth rooms, Lu Zhanyao will not feel inferior or panic!

But there are no ifs in life. For the sake of official career, the Lu family married General Wen’s daughter at all costs!

From that moment on, Lu Zhanyao fell into an unspeakable inferiority complex.

Everyone in the court knew that he was promoted step by step because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor still had a good relationship with Wen Qiqi.

Some adults even mocked him to his face, saying that he, Lu Zhanyao, had never seen the might of his father-in-law, General Wen, but had successfully borrowed the good luck accumulated by the Wen family over the years!

On the surface, Lu Zhanyao pretended not to take these words to heart, but in fact, every time he returned to the Wen Mansion and saw Wen Qiqi, the repression and disgust in his bones arose spontaneously.

"It's not a big deal. Qiqi, have you forgotten... when the third wife came into the mansion, you had a miscarriage. Everyone in the mansion revolves around you, and a newcomer in the third wife's house is ignored. It's inevitable that you feel uncomfortable."

Lu Zhanyao paused, then reached out and held Wen Qiqi's delicate hand.

"Qiqi, these things are in the past, so let's not talk about them. But you and Mei'er have a deep sisterly love, which really makes me feel relieved. You have lived in the same courtyard for the past few years, and Mei'er was willing to adopt Xingcheng to you... All this is rare!"

He got the subject right in an instant.

Wen Qiqi pulled out her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief...

Lu Zhanyao looked at the movements of her hands and his face darkened.

I just shook her hand, and she was so disgusted?

Pretending!

Which of the five women in the Lu family is not looking forward to having their husbands spend more time with them?

When Qiqi had a miscarriage, she was extremely depressed and cried and begged him to stay with her...

Mentioning the miscarriage, Wen Qiqi felt as if her heart was severely hurt by something.

The third wife was actually holding a grudge against him because she had a miscarriage and was ignored?

Haha, it’s so funny!

She had a miscarriage and was extremely sad. Aunt Mei pretended to have a deep sisterly love and deliberately asked the third wife, who had just entered the mansion, to come and talk to Wen Qiqi often when she had nothing to do.

The third roommate said as soon as she opened her mouth that she was pregnant!

"I am so lucky! The lady in the mansion had a miscarriage, which is a taboo. I got pregnant when I entered the mansion. The doctor said it has been three months, and it seems to be twins..."

The third wife has always been arrogant and never willing to be low-key in what she says or does.

Aunt Mei pretended to be angry at the time, sided with Wen Qiqi and turned against the third wife!

"Do you have a heart? Your wife just had a miscarriage and you're here saying you're pregnant with twins. You're making your wife so upset!"

When the third wife heard this, she immediately yelled, "What does my pregnancy have to do with her? This is my blessing. She can't keep the child. It's her bad luck."

Aunt Mei immediately slapped the third wife, who was not to be outdone. She covered her stomach and shouted that someone was trying to murder the descendants of the Lu family...

After this incident passed, Wen Qiqi did not take it to heart and still treated the third room's child as her own.

But she didn't expect that the Third House would hold all the blame on her for the anger that Aunt Mei had caused them.

"It's natural."

Wen Qiqi pulled her thoughts away and smiled faintly, "After I entered the mansion, Aunt Mei took care of me and the baby in my belly personally... After I had a miscarriage, it was thanks to her that she stayed by my side and never left. I will remember this kindness in my heart!"

"Oh, I have something to tell you, my Lord."

Seeing that Lu Zhanyao had been laying the groundwork for a long time without saying anything, Wen Qiqi simply spoke for him: "I want to marry my second sister's daughter Qin Yu to our Xingcheng. What do you think?"

Qin Yu's father was Qin Changdi, the general manager of the salt transport in Kyoto.

Lu Zhanyao was an official in the court, so how could he not know what a lucrative job the position of General Manager of Salt Transport was.

Although the Salt Transport Administrator was only a fifth-rank official, Qin Changdi was a well-known wealthy businessman in Kyoto.

Qin Yu's clothing shop occupies an entire street in Kyoto...

The most important thing is that Qin Changdi has no children.

Qin Yu's three elder sisters have all married, and they were married in great splendor. The dowry for each of Qin Changdi's daughters was five shops and a thousand taels of silver.
